4- And the favorite is…….Aunt Molly’s ground cherry. Tedious to grow because of year around slug issues and feral turkeys. So I plan to set up a table top production bed for it. The plants are quite low to the ground, so next time I plan to try using a grid of some sort to raise the plants higher, making it easier to get the fruits. Fruits are small but very tasty. We loved them. So for us, it’s worth the hassle.

I tried 'Dragon's Tongue' bush beans. Very pretty pale green beans with purple stripes. Purple disappears when you cook them. They were super-prolific! Put out hundreds and hundreds of beans. But the taste was a little bland and I won't grow them again. Shoot.

Telling me it can't be done is my biggest motivation to making it happen.
